Armani Casa, house of furnishings, launched over ten years ago and have remained a strong opponent amongst luxury furniture sellers. The world may be crushing under the weight of the recession but this hasn’t had much of an effect in the luxurious world of fashionable furniture.

Although the demand for luxury furniture items had experienced something of a slump over the past year or so, Armani Casa is still going strong and when it comes to haute couture furniture, who better to buy from than Armani Casa? Armani Casa recently launched a new line of furniture and furnishing fabrics which made their appearance at the Salone del Mobile. Amongst these was a desk that drew much attention: plated in 24 karat gold, the Giorgio Armani desk is worth $38,500. Simplistic in every way from design to functionality, the only highlight of the desk is its gold surface.

The Giorgio Armani desk featured alongside signed limited edition furnishings at the Salone del Mobile. The International Furniture Exhibition was held in Milan, Italy, between the 22nd and 27th of April this year.
